Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the bell pepper strips with 1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are lightly charred and the peppers are tender.

While the peppers roast, combine the rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
